Floor profiles

Where to use floor profiles

Floor profiles are required where different types of flooring, such as panels and carpets, meet. With them, you can create a smooth transition that cover gaps. In the case of a difference in floor levels between rooms, ramp-bar profiles allow you to join them, without extra work needed. Door strips also protect the edges of floors, especially in high-traffic areas such as entrances and hollways. They protect floor from mechanical damage. Similarly, stair nosing work to prevent abrasion of stair surfaces. Floor profiles also help to keep the floor clean. Dirt and dust do not settle in the gaps between floors. Meanwhile, in bathrooms and kitchens, they protect the panels from moisture penetration, which could lead to damage. Vilo floor profiles are also worth using on balconies and terraces. They will protect floors from adverse weather conditions. Expansion joint profiles are resistant to moisture and corrosion, so you can confidently use them also outdoors.

Advantages of floor profiles

The main advantage of floor profiles is their decorative function. This thanks to profiles you can hide unsightly edges, differences in floor height and other imperfections resulting from installation. Transitions between different types of flooring are smooth and harmonious. This ensures visual consistency. In addition, Vilo floor profiles are available in a variety of colors, allowing them to perfectly match any interior style. Floor profiles also improve the safety of their use. First of all, this feature is seen with stair angles, which, properly installed, reduce the risk of slipping on the stairs. Thanks to the materials used, the floor profiles are durable and long-lasting. Vilo profiles are resistant to moisture, corrosion and intensive usewhich means that they can be used for many years. Cleaning of floor profiles is trivially easy. All you need is water, a cloth and mild cleaning agents that do not contain strong chemicals. This is how you will keep Vilo floor profiles in perfect condition for many years.

Choose how to install floor profiles

Our profiles can be installed in one of three ways. The first is hidden mounting - in which you use dowels and allows you to maintain a high level of aesthetics. The second way is visible mounting. Using screws, you have the ability to correct the position of the strip. The third technique is non-invasive and does not require the use of tools - it is mounting with adhesive tape. Whichever method you choose, you will find detailed instructions in Vilo products, so that installation will not cause you any problems.

How to choose the right floor profile?

Choosing the right floor profile is key to achieving an aesthetically pleasing and functional floor finish. When choosing the right profile, it is important to pay attention to what its application will be and what types of surfaces it is to connect with each other. When connecting two types of panels with an even surface, pay your attention to the expansion profile. If you want to connect panels with tiles (here a panel-tile jointing strip will come in handy), an expansion jointing strip will be a better solution, due to the uneven levels of the two parts of the floor.

However, do not forget that floor profiles are not only to mask imperfections between joints, but to look very good themselves. Take a look at Vilo's offer and choose the shape that suits your interior. Then choose from among the colors of the moldings. You can choose from silver, gold, scotch pine, wine oak and many others. For modern or minimalist interiors, metallic shades will suit. Classic interiors are perfectly complemented by woodgrain profiles, which blend in with the warm colors of the floors. In lofts and industrial spaces it is worth betting on raw, metallic colors.
